Sahih Muslim 185a (Book 1, Hadith 364) #7629
Intercession for Temporary Affliction in the Fire

SUMMARY: The hadith explains that those who are doomed to the Fire will remain there permanently, while those who are afflicted temporarily due to their sins will be granted intercession and brought into Paradise.

It is reported by Abu Sa'id that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: The (permanent) inhabitants of the Fire are those who are doomed to it, and verily they would neither die nor live in it (al-Qur'an, xx. 47; LXXXVII. 13). But the people whom the Fire would afflict (temporarily) on account of their sins, or so said (the narrator)" on account of their misdeeds," He would cause them to die till they would be turned into charcoal. Then they would be granted intercession and would be brought in groups and would be spread on the rivers of Paradise and then it would be said: O inhabitants of Paradise, pour water over them; then they would sprout forth like the sprouting of seed in the silt carried by flood. A man among the people said: (It appears) as if the Messenger of Allah lived in the steppe.
وَحَدَّثَنِي نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُفَضَّلِ - عَنْ أَبِي مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏ "‏ أَمَّا أَهْلُ النَّارِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَهْلُهَا فَإِنَّهُمْ لاَ يَمُوتُونَ فِيهَا وَلاَ يَحْيَوْنَ وَلَكِنْ نَاسٌ أَصَابَتْهُمُ النَّارُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ - أَوْ قَالَ بِخَطَايَاهُمْ - فَأَمَاتَهُمْ إِمَاتَةً حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا فَحْمًا أُذِنَ بِالشَّفَاعَةِ فَجِيءَ بِهِمْ ضَبَائِرَ ضَبَائِرَ فَبُثُّوا عَلَى أَنْهَارِ الْجَنَّةِ ثُمَّ قِيلَ يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ أَفِيضُوا عَلَيْهِمْ ‏.‏ فَيَنْبُتُونَ نَبَاتَ الْحِبَّةِ تَكُونُ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ كَأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَدْ كَانَ بِالْبَادِيَةِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Have faith in Allah's mercy even when being punished for wrongdoings

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that those who have committed sins and are afflicted with punishment in the fire will eventually be granted intercession. This means that they will not remain in the fire forever but instead be brought out of it and into paradise. The hadith also mentions how this process works; these people would die until they turn into charcoal and then be spread on rivers of paradise where water is poured over them so they can sprout forth like seeds. This is a reminder from Allah that He is merciful even when punishing us for our wrongdoings. It also teaches us to never give up hope as Allah's mercy is greater than His wrath.
